Rockford Fosgate RFT3061A - Manual (Page 5)

CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed
by a qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.
CAUTION: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to
prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the
Unit.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your Source Unit in
place.
4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.
5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.
6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or
hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the
best protection.
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to
protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install
the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the
battery terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a
good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and
always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
MOUNTING LOCATIONS
The mounting position of your amplified subwoofer will have a great effect on the sound
performance produced.
Engine Compartment
Never mount this unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the unit in the engine
compartment will void your warranty.
Trunk Mounting
Mounting the unit in the trunk provides good overall performance.
Passenger Compartment Mounting
Mounting the unit in the passanger compartment provides optimin sound, but reduces
the area for passenger seating.
